हासिल (haasil)
verb/adjective
A Persian-origin word centered on the idea of 'obtaining' or 'gaining' something; most common as part of the compound verb हासिल करना (haasil karnaa, to obtain), with a related adjective sense meaning 'obtained/achieved.'
Sense
1
:
to obtain, achieve, attain
verb, transitive Functions as a compound verb with करना (karnaa): हासिल (haasil) itself is an invariant Persian adjective/noun-like element, and करना (karnaa) carries all the conjugation.
Synonyms: प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa, formal), पाना (paanaa), अर्जित करना (arjit karnaa, formal)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will hear हासिल करना (haasil karnaa) constantly in contexts of academic or career achievement -- डिग्री हासिल करना (digrii haasil karnaa, to obtain a degree), कामयाबी हासिल करना (kaamyaabii haasil karnaa, to achieve success), जानकारी हासिल करना (jaankaarii haasil karnaa, to gain information). It has a slightly more formal, effortful flavor than the plain verb पाना (paanaa, to get), suggesting something earned through work rather than simply received.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to conjugate हासिल (haasil) itself (e.g. treating it like a verb root); it never changes form -- only करना (karnaa) conjugates, as in हासिल किया (haasil kiyaa, obtained). 2) हासिल करना (haasil karnaa) is transitive and takes ने (ne) in the perfective, e.g. मैंने डिग्री हासिल की (mainne digrii haasil kii, 'I obtained the degree') -- agreement is with डिग्री (digrii), not with the subject.
Sample Sentences:
उसने बहुत मेहनत से यह डिग्री हासिल की है।
He has obtained this degree through a lot of hard work.
(usne bahut mehnat se yah digrii haasil kii hai।)

Sense
2
:
obtained, achieved, gained (as a result)
adjective Used predicatively, often with होना (honaa): यह जानकारी मुझे हासिल हुई (yah jaankaarii mujhe haasil huii, 'I obtained this information', literally 'this information became obtained to me') -- a dative-subject frame parallel to मिलना (milnaa).
Synonyms: प्राप्त (praapt, formal)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This sense pairs with होना (honaa) rather than करना (karnaa): X को Y हासिल होना (X ko Y haasil honaa) frames the outcome as something that came to the person, similar to how मिलना (milnaa) works. It's the passive-feeling counterpart to the active हासिल करना (haasil karnaa) sense above.
Common Mistakes: 1) The adjective is invariant -- it never takes -ई, -े, or -ा endings for gender/number agreement, unlike ordinary Hindi adjectives.
Sample Sentences:
उसे परीक्षा में अच्छे अंक हासिल हुए।
He obtained good marks in the exam.
(use pariikshaa men achchhe ank haasil hue।)
